This is just a quick post to keep everyone informed of what's happening with our site.

You may or may not remember a few years ago that our site almost came to an end when Chris' partner Juergen lost interest. At the time Chris stepped up to the plate and took over for which we will be forever grateful!

Now, as I've always told our members who have temporarily left our site for one reason or another, life comes first. With that said you've probably guessed that Chris has decided to move on. Well, yes and no. Family and work simply take up too much of Chris' time already and rather than shut down the site and lose years of hard work, Tim (Timm525) will take over as the new owner. Tim has devoted hundreds of hours and contributed quite a bit of money to keep us afloat the past few years which, in our opinion, makes him the logical choice to take over. Tim will be the new owner, James will still be our technical guru with Chris still onboard to help out as time permits and I will continue to do what I've always done. Run the forum and handle any problems that may arise within the membership.

The changes should be almost unnoticeable and everything we have will remain the same. Just please be aware that it's possible the site may temporarily be down to make some of these changes and I will do my best to keep everyone up to date when and if this should happen. Thanks in advance for your patience!

That is interesting about US $ donations. I made a US$ donation last month and noticed that it hadn't been registered on my profile page as well. Thanks for keeping this site alive!! We MV fans have to stick together!

Team, I'm going to have to check with Chris and James on how to make these approvals show up. I'm not very familiar with this admin control panel as of yet.

I know Chris is aware and it is not really an "issue" just the way the software is configured. Euros are automatic and dollars or other forms of payments he has set up are a manual confirmation. I just need to learn how to do this going forward.

I would like to send thanks to Chris as well - he has always been a great admin and site owner and a good partner!

Thanks for all the time you spent to keep this site alive for so long.

I was a member on miamivide.de since 2003 or something like that and moved with Chris to miamivice.info and landed up here. Though I'm not a frequent user, I have always been a true member. My offer to the new old crew: If you like I will keep up my moderator work at the download section and the fact section (lots of html codes still broken because of the last or second last crash). But like Ferrariman stated before - there is a life "outside" - I will be here and continue work but not very often. If this is ok for you I will keep going on. If not, please let me know.

Absolutely!!! We are all greatfull for all you have done and continue to do. Many thanks to you.

Team, just to reiterate, I have no intentions of changing anything. We have a well oiled machine working here. The only difference is who's name is on the ownership of the domains and a who's going to be responsible for making sure the bills are paid.

Ell.a, except for you I can't think of anyone else who has been here as long as I have. Your dedication goes without saying and I 'm sure we all appreciate any time you can donate to help us! Thank you!

as you may have noticed, I'm not online very often in the past weeks. This is one reason why we're changing the server and Tim is going to be the #1 admin.

Since March last year I'm president of my local sports club and this takes a lot of time.

We already moved all the files to the new server and domain transfer is in progress. Everything will look like it is now. And the admin and mod crew will still be the same so everything should be all right.

I'd like to thank all the admin & mod crew members and all our forum members for all the good time we had. It was a lot of work, time and money during the past years we put into this community and because of this I'm very happy that Tim is taking care of our community.

I will still be admin in the future and support our crew as good as I can.
